Hillary on Trump
The 2016 presidential election has gone down as one of the most controversial in recent memory. While all signs pointed to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton walking out the winner, Donald Trump pulled off the upset to become the new commander in chief, though questions still remain unanswered as to what potential link the new president had to reported election interference by Russia.
In addition, Trump and his supporters have been hit with a label of being prejudice, with various forms of racism, sexism, homophobia, and other slurs attached to them.

During a speech in India on Monday, Hillary Clinton accused Donald Trump and his supporters of embracing a racist and sexist message. "You didn't like black people getting rights, you don't like women, you know, getting jobs. You don't want to you know see that Indian American succeeding," Clinton said of Trump's message to his supporters, referring to it as "backwards." Not stopping there, Clinton said the United States "did not deserve" Trump as the new president, while explaining that she won the states that produced the highest Gross Domestic Product and that were the most diverse.
